There is a minor "Windows vs *nix" debate going on in the U2 forum this week. I don’t really want to enter the debate. To me it’s important that people just have good information for making their decisions, that they know what resources are available to help them get around issues that they say are [...]

I’ve never been too fond of a development concept that’s alternately called wireframing, prototyping, or mockups … until now. This blog entry digresses from my usual fare. It’s a chatty testimonial for some software that I think is kinda cool, and I think it will be of great use to anyone who develops GUI screens.

I want to make sure that the content in this blog is helpful, accurate, and in some respect entertaining. This entry sums up my overall goals. Comment would be greatly appreciated.

This is a sort of follow-up (a 3 pager) to my recent blog "Still on a fence about GUI?" I think there are roughly two groups of people who are still on the fence: those who have tried various options and understand their differences, and those who don’t yet realize that almost all of the [...]

People are always looking for "PDF" or "Excel". But what do they really want? This blog entry is essentially a copy of a recent posting I made to comp.databases.pick (with new material added at bottom). I reproduced it here because the exact same question came up a day later in the jBase forum about how [...]

I wonder how many people and companies have given up on GUI, or maybe they’re permanently on the fence and looking for some way to jump off without getting hurt. This is just a frank discussion that might help some people in this situation. If you already have a GUI or you’re comfortable with your [...]

There’s a webinar on April 22 about Vista and Windows 7, and "the horrible tragedy that could happen when running Windows XP". I can’t laugh hard enough when I see Vista lovers saying XP is a tragedy, even though it’s been the dominant Windows workstation platform for eight years and people are still trying hard [...]

I recently assisted a client with an upgrade of mv.NET from v3.2 to v4.0. This is one of the value-add services provided to our clients who purchase mv.NET from us. A minor code change was required.

In this blog entry from 2007 I documented a new offering called NebulaXChange. As NebulaXLite creates rich spreadsheets from BASIC, NebulaXChange is intended to work on the opposite side, with Excel reaching into MV. After well over a year and a great deal of heartache NebulaXChange lives!

To respond to a request from one of our clients, and provide a general response for many people who ask similar questions, I am providing here a basic summary of how session management works with mv.NET. This isn’t one of my normal articles, just some info to help some people get started.
